Often it seems as though education in what might formerly have been regarded as "higher principles" begins earlier and earlier.
So it happened that a fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson in logic.
"Here is the situation," said she.
"A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help.
"His wife hears the commotion, knows he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?"
One girl raised her hand and suggested,
"To draw out all his savings?"
